Black haired wise man Chiyuki

　If you use your farsightedness magic, you can see a legion of tanks (Chariots) approaching with a cloud of dust.
　They are probably an army from Arnak.
　Most of them are dog-man warriors.
　In the sky above, birdsmen with heads of falcons were flying with the speed of the chariots.

There are some strange creatures hiding behind the chariots.

　Rage says as he watches with his eyes next to me.
　Rage is right, I do indeed see a huge creature running behind the chariot (Chariots) army, which is not a chariot.
　The best way to describe the creature is a crocodile with a lion's mane.
　The crocodile does not have the limbs of a crocodile, but appears to be a lion on its front legs and a river horse on its hind legs.
　It looks slow and sluggish, but it must be quite fast, seeing that it is running at the same speed as an army of chariots (chariots).

'The beast with the head of that crocodile is Amemit. Don't worry, they won't attack us.

　Tona, who is behind us, explains.

'There's a rumour about an Amemit that eats those who have sinned. Are you the Amemite?

　I asked, and Tona nodded.

'Yes. 'The black-haired wise man Chiyuki. That Amemit. However, it's not a rumor, it's the truth.'

　Amemit is a demonic beast with a head that resembles a crocodile, a lion with a mane and upper body, and a river horse with a lower body.
　Its name means "devourer.
　It is rumored to devour the guilty at trial with their souls.
　The devoured soul will never be able to reincarnate again, which means eternal destruction.

Oh, I see. And you, Tona. And who's that on the Amemit?

　Rage calls out to Totona in a very familiar way.

'That's Nelfithi. 'That's Nelphiti, Gypsysyll's princess. She's Totona's friend.

　It was Ishtia who answered instead.

'The Princess of Gypseal? So you're Halseth's sister or sister? Does that mean she's your daughter?

It's not. Chiyuki, the dark-haired sage. Nell is Halseth's cousin. She is not the daughter of Lady Ishtia.

　That was when Totona replied.

'Totnern! Safe or not: ！！！！！

　I hear loud voices.
　It looks like the tank (Chariots) army in the distance has finally arrived.
　They pass the Amemit or the tank (Chariots) that was behind them and come towards us.
　Up close, the Amemit is quite huge.
　It could be as big as Gustav the giant Nile crocodile.
　When Amemit reaches it, it stops before it reaches us.

''Totonan!!!''

　A small figure jumps down from Amemit's back and hugs Tona.
　Perhaps she is Nelphiti.
　She looks like a human girl about 14 or 5 years old with brown skin and white hair.
　However, unlike humans, she has cat-like ears sprouting from her white hair and a white furry cat's tail sprouting from the butt of her white costume.
　She has wings on her back, but perhaps she doesn't like to fly, as she was riding on an amemit instead of flying.
　The girl is wearing a white outfit with golden ornaments all over her body.
　Exactly, she looks like a princess.

'Long time no see! Tonaan! I've missed you so much!

Long time no see, Nell. I missed you too.

　Oh, Tona, whose expression has been changing, is smiling.
　I feel like I've seen something unusual.

Oh! But still, Tonaan! What an amazing thing I have with me!

　Nell looks up at the chimera behind her as she pulls away from Totona.

'This is Kloa. I want you to get along with your Am.

　Tona strokes the chimera's neck, which she calls Kloa.
　I feel like Amemit's appearance has lowered the hostility of the wary chimera.
　But still, Kloa is a girl's name.
　With her mane, is this Chimaira a female?

All right. Amu-chan. I'll get along with you.

　Nell also patted Amemit's neck.

'Princess. That's about it with Lady Tona.

　A jackal-headed person comes down from the chariots that followed Amemit.

I don't want that one. Isdes.

　Nell apologizes and leaves Totoona.
　I've heard the name Isdes before.
　Isdes, the black war god of Gypseal with the head of a jackal.
　He is a being revered by the Gypseal warriors of the other races, not to mention the dog people.

''It's been a long time. 'Long time no see, Master Ishtia and Lord Totoona. Are you safe? I received a call from Lord Mart, and I thought I'd come to pick you up if I could, but I'm sorry I couldn't make it.

　Isdes bows his head.

'I don't mind. Everyone is safe. It's been a long time, Isdes. But still, what is wrong with you that the snakes of Apophis appear so far away from you? I wonder if the wards of the pyramids that Gypseal boasts have been broken?

'Ggh! That's it! I'd say it's hard to explain here: ......

　Isdes is at a loss for words. His eyes flicker over to us.
　Apparently it's hard to talk with us.

'Lady Ishtia. Who are the people over there? By the looks of it, you look like you belong to Elios?

'Oh, he's the brave man of light, Rage. You've heard of him, haven't you? And that beautiful black hair beside me is my companion, the dark-haired wise man Chiyuki.

　Isdes asks, Ishtia introduces me and Rage.

'How?! This one is the rumored ......

　Isdes gives me a subtle look.
　It doesn't sound like it's a good thing.
　Well, it can't be helped. Rage buzzed this Gypseal Halseth.
　If it wasn't for Ishtia, he might have been considered an enemy.
　Then he looked at Totona next.

'And then, Lord Totona. Who's behind it?'

　Isdes looks behind Totoona with a stern expression.

'Sir Isdes. 'It's all right. This chimera is under my control. There will be no violence.

　Tona patted the chimera's neck to show her that there was no danger.

'No, not that one. I'm that white cloth-clad facetious one. ......

　Isdes looks at Medjed.
　His eyes are looking at the suspicious ones.
　It's not unreasonable.
　Mejed is hiding behind Totoona, but his suspicious presence is tremendous.
　Ishtia seems to think he's some kind of magical creature or something, but I don't think he's a magical creature, based on the rawness of that burlun.

'He is Medjed. He's not a suspicious one.

Objection: "Objection: ！！！！！！！

　I point at Bissy Medjed.
　All eyes are on me.
　Sheesh!
　I just did it.
　Tona says it's not suspicious, but it's 120% suspicious by all accounts.

What's the matter with you, Chiyuki? I know what you're thinking. ...... There's something different about it than usual.

　Rage looks at me with a surprising look.

'Ugh. ......'

　I blush and turn over.
　As a matter of fact, I can't get his bull-run out of my head from earlier.
　This is why I can't look at Medjed properly.
　I appreciate the help, but what is this raw (nama) thing?

'I'm sorry, Lady Tona. The Wise Lord has also expressed his objection. Therefore, I must ask you to allow me to examine him. For now, shall we ask you to take that cloth off?

　Isdes approaches Medjed.

''No!!!!''

　My voice and Totona's voice overlap.

「「「「 What? 」」」」

　All eyes are on me again.

'What's going on? Chiyuki? I know what you're saying, Tona. What's stopping you?

　Rage says with concern.
　Tona also gives me a surprising look at Ishtia and Isdes.

'Well ....... It's ....... It's dangerous ....... 'Yes, because it's dangerous!!!'

　Because if you take the cloth off now, the bullrung will polish off.
　That's dangerous! Too dangerous: ！！！！

Danger? I definitely sense something dangerous coming from the guy. It's like ....... No, no way. ......

　I didn't expect Rage to agree with me.
　Still, "I can sense dangerous things," says Rage.
　I didn't expect to have the ability to sense a bigger **** than me.
　Or do all men have that ability?
　Teh? What do you think you're doing! I ！！！！

I'll be there in a minute! Isdes! This white suspicious thing is a Thonan squire! Tona says it's not suspicious! Why do you doubt me?

　Nell loudly defends Medjed.
　However, Nell herself is suspicious and is not at all convincing.

But, Princess: "But, Princess: ......

　Again, Isdes bites down.
　Then Ischthia steps forward.

'Hey, Isdes. Isn't it about time you did? Enough of this, let's head to Arnac. We can't stay here forever, can we?

'Shh, but. Dear Ishtia: ....... If it's dangerous, even more so, I can't let you into Arnak: ......

You don't have to say that. Besides, Rage has you. He's going to be fine. Or you're not sure.

　Isdes is silent when Ishtia says this.

'If you're going to say that much, I understand ....... It can't be helped.'

　Totoona looks relieved when Isdes reluctantly agrees.
　Medjed swings his hips. Could it be that he is pleased?
　But the move is too suspicious.

'It's settled. Let's go then.

　We tie the broken empty ship to the giant chariots (chariots) of Isdes.
　The giant chariot is more of a giant carriage than a chariot, and since it is pulled by seven metal golem horses, it looks like it will run with no problem if we let it pull the empty ship.

I'm not going to be able to get out of it. Let's go, Totonan.

'Yes, Nell. So, Master Ishtia. I'll see you at Arnac.

　Tona and Medjed ride the chimera. They ride alongside Amemit, which Nell rides.
　Since Amemit can't fly, he seems to be going by land.
　The birdmen fly along with them.
　Probably, it was ordered by Isdes.
　A sense of urgency emanates from the birdmen.
　They must be that cautious.
　We will leave later.
　Pulled by a huge chariot, the empty ship moves on the sand.
　After a while, a huge structure comes into view.

'Wow! The pyramid is glowing gold!

　I can't help myself.
　I've seen a few pyramids before I came here, the keystone of Gypseal's defense, but this is the first time I've seen it glowing with gold.
　Even Rage next to me is amazed.

'It's the golden pyramid that protects Arnak, Rage and Chiyuki. After that pyramid, you'll enter the realm of Arnak.

　Ishtia explains.

'It's amazing. And there's that golden sphinx statue.'

　Rage was right, there is a huge sphinx statue next to the golden pyramid.

''That's the golem guarding the pyramid. If you go near it without permission, it will attack you, so be careful.

'Ugh ....... That's a shame. I would have loved to have seen it up close.

　I am discouraged by Ishtia's words.

'I don't think you need to be discouraged, Chiyuki. If we can see it with your permission, we'll get it.

　Rage comforts me.

'Yes. Raige. Hey, Ishtia. Do you mind if I ask you for a favor?

'Okay. I'll ask.

　Ishtia giggles.
　After passing the golden plamids, the desert sand turns gold.
　It's a golden desert made of sand and gold.
　The sun is shining in the morning sun as dawn breaks.

I see it. That's the golden city of Arnak.

　I can see the golden palace at the end of Ishtia's point.
　The palace would be huge, bigger than a small human city.
　An army of chariots will enter the huge gate.
　Then you will find yourself in a green paradise.
　Clean water is flowing and flowers are in full bloom.
　I was once again amazed at the creation of such a garden in the palace.
　The chariot stops and we get off the empty boat.

'We have been expecting you. 'We've been expecting you, Master Ishtia. Your Majesty has been waiting for you.'

　A woman from the Sphinx flies over and bows to Ishtia.
　It is probably the woman of Arnak.
　Beside her, an empty ship, even smaller than the one we came in, floats in the air.
　I suppose she wants us to get on this one.
　Once we are all aboard, a sphinx-woman leads us deeper into the Arnak.
　Eventually we arrive at a huge white gate bordered with gold.
　Perhaps there is an audience chamber at this end.
　The empty boat stops.

Sir. You're on your own from here on out.

　Prompted by the lady, I got off the empty boat and a huge gate opened.
　As you might expect, it's the audience chamber.
　At the back of the large room, a little higher up, stands Harses.
　He's looking at Rage as he glares at him.
　But Rage has a cool look on his face.
　We walk in, and there stands Totona and Medjed, who came before us.
　We stand beside them.
　I look around and see the Sphinx with the head of the beast standing off to the side.
　Probably, those with the heads of beasts are the gods who belong to the Gypseal.
　Those beast gods are looking at us with interest.

''You! How dare you! You could show your face as a slippery slope!

　Halseth glares at us from on high.
　I'm still angry.
　Maybe it's a bad situation.
　I look at Ishtia next to me.
　Maybe she, Halseth's mother, can stop him.
　But Ishtia isn't looking at Halseth.
　Her eyes are on Harses' back.

'Be quiet, Halseth.

　A voice comes from behind Halseth.
　The voice is a woman lying on a couch behind Halseth, behind Halseth.
　The woman gets up and goes to Halseth's side as the voice comes out.
　She has brown skin and white hair, beast ears and a tail, and wings sprouting from her back.
　She looks like Nelfithi, who is standing beside her.
　But if Nerfiti is a cat, she's a lion.
　The intimidation is completely different.
　And her appearance is that of a queen.
　I should call her the queen of lions.

'But, Aunt. This one is .......

'Do you know these men? Harses? The story goes that these men have never been here before. I'm Halseth, by the way. You left the Gypseal recently. What is the reason?

The Lion Queen glares at Halseth.

'Uh-huh? That's ....... I just wanted to get out for a bit. For no particular reason: ......

　Halseth replies sluggishly.
　Maybe the Lion Queen doesn't know that Halseth fought Rage.

'Well, I thought you were still going after that woman? It seems that I was mistaken. You already have several members of your own entourage. And in the future, my daughter Nelfithi will be the rightful owner of the room. There is no need for you to ask her to be your wife. Naturally.

Ha-ha-ha, of course, aunt.

　Halseth smiles, but his face is drawn.
　If you look closely, you'll see Nell in the back with a subtle look on her face.
　Maybe she doesn't think well of her engagement with Halseth.

'Very well, then. But I can't forgive you for slipping out of the Gypseal without permission, even though you are the ruler. You'll have to educate me later.

Aunt! That's it!!!!

　Halseth's face is tinged with fear and he screams.
　However, when the Lion Queen glares at him with a guileless stare, he suddenly becomes quiet.
　Apparently, I don't need to turn Gypseal into an enemy.
　After that, the Lion Queen finally looks at me.

"Well, it's been a long time. It's been a long time, isn't it? And the brave and courageous Rage of Light and the black-haired Sage Chiyuki, I think. Totona told me about them. You have done well to come to Arnak. The name of the straw is Sekmetra. You'd do well to remember that.

　Then Sekmetra, the lion queen, laughed.
